Nice lineup! Seems like an all time great lineup rather than a personal favorite, but I suppose either would make sense.

I take it to mean players I’d like to watch for one game - the most entertaining…

Pitcher: Mark Fidrych (for one year he was pure joy to watch)

Reliever: Goose Gossage (the Pete Townshend of relievers - don’t mess with him when he’s on stage or he might just kill you)

Catcher: Mickey Cochrane (won 5 pennants in 13-year career. "He was the greatest fighting spirit on the ball field." He's there to win and will do anything to make it happen.)

1st Base: Norm Cash (once went to bat with a table leg against Nolan Ryan and could hit the ball over the roof at Tiger Stadium)

2nd Base: Germany Schaefer (Schaefer was a pioneer of baseball clowning and is the reason you can’t steal bases backwards)

3rd base: Pete Rose (Another winner, complete with head-first slides)

Left Field: Babe Ruth (he played LF almost as much as RF and of course is baseball)

Center Field: Ty Cobb (who could be more fun to watch)

Right Field: Reggie Jackson (the straw that stirs the drink)

Manager: Billy Martin (who’s gonna kick dirt on the umpire any quicker? And he might even fight Reggie by the 5th inning.)

My favorites by position:

Lefthanded Pitcher: Warren Spahn
Righthanded Pitcher: Christy Mathewson

Catcher: Roy Campanella
1st Base: Stan Musial
2nd Base: Nap Lajoie
SS: Pee Wee Reese
3B: Mike Schmidt

LF: Minnie Minoso
CF: Willie Mays
RF: Roberto Clemente

Manager: Gil Hodges
